We had such a fun time making this cake. My friend Amanda, that owns Divine Designs called me up recently and wanted a birthday cake for her husband James' 40th birthday. When she mentioned that they had planned a crawfish boil, I immediately had a design in mind.

This is a 2-tier cake, with the entire top tier being an edible cooking pot. The cake was wrapped in modeling chocolate and then painted with silver luster dust. The lid and handles were also made from modeling chocolate. The effect was really nice; people at the party thought it was actually a mini pot!

When we got ready to take our pictures, I was looking for a suitable cake stand, when Chaddy came into the kitchen with one of our big Calphalon pots. I thought it made for the perfect cake stand to take our pictures on!
